It’s finally here! EURO 2020 is underway, your Fantasy teams have been finalised and you’re most likely sitting back to watch Italy v Turkey.

And by now you’re already lamenting picking that bargain-bin North Macedonia defender or ruing your decision to overlook Cristiano Ronaldo.

While the tournament-long Fantasy games are already up and running, FanTeam have their weekly €100k Monster event to look forward to this weekend.

That’s right – there is a cool €100,000 in the prize pot, with €20k going to the winner and cash prizes awarded down to 1,150th place.

All six EURO 2020 fixtures taking place on Saturday and Sunday are covered by this event, including England v Croatia.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €103m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players are allowed from one country and captains score double points, as usual.

Here are some other minor differences to the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and country.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same nation and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s EURO 2020 Monster, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions – detailed in the graphic above.

    Berardi +1 for shot outside the box

      Jenas about Berardi's shot: 'nothing wrong with that'

      If only you got a full point for that lol.

    Don’t know what it is, but tournament football is always better. Even in a 0-0 like this!

      This game has legit been fun to watch I think. Every player has class in the ball - at least the ones with the ball so far.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        it feels more like a prem game. intense, tight, physical

    2. Joey Tribbiani

      Im so happy right now, this is the serotonin I needed

  3. Deulofail

    The ref more involved than Donnarumma so far

  4. Paqueta Rice

    Yilmaz 😆

    Salah would be proud

    The UEFA website is much better than FPL

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The filtering option on the transfers was a nice addition

    2. Party time
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t think so tbh. Fpl is easier to use. Fixtures below the team page & Home, away stuff right.

      Uefa website says Turkey home when they are actually away. Fpl’s website far better tbh in everything

  6. Nomar

    Get the feeling a Turkey counter attack is going to win this 1-0.

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years

      Definitely italy gonna win this

    Insigne is tiny! But class. As is Spinazzola

      Good things come in small packages.

    If this was a Prem game we could have had 5 pens by now.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years

      Glad we’ve had none to be honest.

  14. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Good decision by VAR. Actual logic used. Could we get them refs in the premier league please?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Your Milkman would need to find a new club 😉

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nah he would still get quite a few to be fair but I agree he would have not had at least 4 of last seasons 😆

    Who takes pens for Italy?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jorginho

    2. el polako

      Bruno F

      1. Utopsis

        He doesn't take them, just gets the points

    3. OPTA FPL

      Insigne captain

  16. OPTA FPL

      guns?

      1. OPTA FPL

        they should play volleyball instead

    Berardi is the Italian Keith Gillespie

    Spinazzola looking like the one to have in this game

  20. Deulofail

    Well done double defencers!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I had treble for quite some time.

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How many BAPS is Spinazzola on?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      All of them

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        😉

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dominant from Italy. Turkey have had to chase for much of the game so I expect them to tire 2nd half.

    Italy surely winning this.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing is guaranteed! They are so compact with 10 behind the ball in the box so they should not tire too much really! Could be a massive against the run of play upset. Italy need to score early in this half because Turkey will grow in confidence the longer this goes on.

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so! Immobile needs to get a shift on!

  23. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry for the question, just created my team.

    You can change as many players from your bench as you like between games, correct?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You can sub-in as many as you want (up to 4, of course). But once a player has played and you sub them out, you can't sub them back in.

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you.

    2. Party time
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4 subs max as it’s on your bench & can’t be reversed

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cool

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Once you take a player out you can’t bring them back in if they’ve already played. So effectively 4 subs only.

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cool

  24. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I know this has been asked but I am still confused over chip strategy as people seem to be playing both MD2 & 3 rather than waiting?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. You get the renew your team for the round of 16 o essentially trying to get ahead early

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ok thanks I may do both MD2 and MD3 then

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You get a free WC before knockouts.

      So the options for the 2 chips are
      Before MD2
      Before MD3
      Before round of 8
      before Round of 4 etc

      Most people won’t hold on past round of 8 since the upside is low.

      So 2 chips for effectively 3 MDs

      I’m gambling my knockout team will be strong enough to not need to WC into round of 8 (you get 3 transfers) so I’m using both chips in the group games.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers very helpful

  25. Chilli Heatwave

    Only just switched on. Summary please of first half? Who’s looked good?

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Insigne, Immobile both had shots on target. Chiellini as well
      And then Berardi with some random shots
      Turkey mainly defending

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Spinazzola also looked very lively

    2. el polako
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2 counter attacks from Turkey.
      3 penalty shouts for Italy.
      Several long shots and overall dominance by Italians.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      All of Italy’s front 3 look dangerous. They’re making smart diagonal runs and a few times have been close.

      I’m expect one of those to work, maybe with the overlap from the mid/def helping with an assist.

      It’s been fun!

    4. Dash444
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spinnazola looks very involved. Italy defence totally untroubled. Insigne lively. Italy centre halves getting forward regularly. Turkey gk great save.

    5. Chilli Heatwave
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all

  26. Party time
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Really need that Italy’s clean sheet burned

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would like that also.
      But not stressed. I think the cheapos will equal the expensive defenders here so the extra money I saved will come in good.

      1. Party time
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well done. I think so too

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I don’t 😉

          Spinazzola already looks worth the outlay

  27. dark91
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Van Basten and Van der Vaart here in the studio on the Dutch National T.V. channel
    Who do you guys have on yours?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice lineup. We have Lineker, Shearer, Ferdinand, Fabregas. Not bad here either!

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        How do you rate as forwards Lineker, Shearer and Van Basten.

        For me it must be the Dutchman 1st and then Shearer only because Lineker is the most hated English player ever for true Polish fan 😉

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Your order sounds right. All were quality forwards.

          Lineker is loved by me!

          1. Goro Majima
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed. As a United fan I never liked Shearer but I had plenty of respect for him. Used to get dogs abuse at OT but only because we wanted him to sign for us and he didn't

      2. dark91
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that is a packed one with some nice names
        Enjoy it 🙂

    2. Party time
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Matt Damon & Tom Hardy

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No Will Smith or Leonardo di Caprio? 😀
        Is it Mat Damon and Hardy really?

  28. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I like the little jingle for the euros

  29. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jorginho should have taken 3 pens by now!

  30. 272MK
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    9 shots for Italy. Will Turkey concede? Is this solid defensively Turkey during qualification or the 10 matches after? Not watching the match

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only really one shot with any venom and it was a header.l from a corner.

      Italy need to be a bit more aggressive, Turkey not giving them a lot of time to wind up in open play. But I expect Italy to figure it out. 1-0 I reckon.
